There is a 5% chance that any creature that spawns in the Ilshenar facet will spawn as a Paragon of its type.

Paragon creatures are noticeably more powerful than the normal creatures of their type. They take longer to kill, hit harder, have more powerful magic, have very high health regeneration, and run very fast (thus making them difficult to escape from).

Paragon creatures can cause minor Artifacts to spawn in the packs of the killing players.

Any creature that would normally drop a treasure map will, when spawned as a Paragon, a "paragon chest" rather than a treasure map. These chests, which must be opened using the Lockpicking skill, come with a Treasure Map of 1 level higher than the level of map normally dropped on the creature. The chest will have the name recovered from "creature name" Paragon. The chests come in random hues, including a dark black and a bright white hue which are often semi-rare.

These chests come with a treasure map one level higher than the level of map normally dropped on the creature. The chest will have the name recovered from "creature name" Paragon. The chests come in randome ore hues and also in a dark black and white. Paragon creatures also have higher stats/skills and move much faster than a normal creature would. Paragon creature will also switch targets very fast.
